To get a flush top shelf on my flexy I laminated 2 3/4" pieces of oak ply together. Before I did that I counter sunk a t-nut into the top of the bottom piece threaded a 3/8" rod into it. Then I used a reducer coupling nut to tighten the t-nut into place. The reducer coupling nut is 3/8 on one...

I am in the process of upgrading from a receiver based system with DD EX and DTS ES. My previos system to this was an older DPL SS receiver. My new system will be done with seperates. The amp I have decided on is the Parasound HCA 1205A 5x140 and a NAD 216THX 2x125. The NAD I already own. The...

I may be interested in the Amp. Maybe the 3 of us can get together and work something out?

I have checked out some sights that tell you how to make speaker cable from Cat5 cable. Is this the same stuff you can get from Home Depot or is there a difference?

That is exactly what I did. The aluminum I got from a local dealer for 2.75 a ft. I then cut them to the lengths I needed, there are a total of 25 measuring between 5" and 11". The brushing was time consuming, I started with 120 grit then used 220 then a final light sanding with 000 steel wool...

Thanks Pat, looks like the receiver is going to visit the repair shop.

Here is the situation. I have 2 receivers, 1 I use as my main and the other powers my sub from the sub out on the main receiver to the right front amp in on my 2nd receiver. Recently the left front speaker channel went out on my main receiver. I checked the speaker and the wire and sure enough...

Within 1 week of contacting Hank about the receiver it is in my livingroom blasting AC/DC. As advertised the receiver is in perfect condition, packed as if it had just come from the factory. It looks great and sounds great. Thank you Hank. It was pleasure. :)

No problem this leads into another question I have about exactly this subject. I am going to start a speaker building project for a 2 way mini monitor. The design and specs I found on the internet. The crossover used is a 2 way 4th order L-R. The author is very specific about the crossover...

So, really what you are gaining is effeciency which means a higher spl which means a speaker that is louder at a given power input. And most amps put out more power at 4 ohms than 8 ohms theorectically if the speaker can handle the power then it can be driven louder. But as far quality goes...

I have seen quite a few speakers that come in either a MT or MTM arangement. They add a second driver to the MTM. The second driver a mid/base is the same as the one in the MT. So essentially you have 2 mid/base drivers(of the same type) and 1 tweeter. The crossover is the same it's still a 2...
